New Official Images: Asian Market Exclusive Specialist: Decepticons

I always get giddy when I see that maniacal look in Galvatrons eyes.

Octane, get it chromed or get it gone. Seriously...Get your shit together TyrOctane.

There's no chrome on the other two, so why should Octane get chromed?

Besides, there's already his Henkei! Henkei! toys if you want him with chrome.

Yea, I'm happy with the slightly-more-subtle metallics.

Both BBTS & TFsource have the Decepticon specialists for $130. More like an arm OR a leg rather than an arm AND a leg.

also, bbts isnt the be-all-end-all for online TF shopping. chimung has both sets fot 110 each as i recall.

100% agree with you. These are by far the best decos for each of these figures, IMHO.

I'm playing the delicate balance of wanting them, but hoping they go on sale like the Seeker sets. I'll be monitoring BBTS stock closely for fear of being shut out...

Going to do some reconnaissance and destroy every master cast and mold of Deluxe Galvy. That mold needs to die.

Why shouldn't there be? Maybe I'd like some chrome on the tank to mirror the G1 toy?

The Henkei version has chromed guns, not what I'm looking for.

Anyway, why are you questioning my personal preferences on this? It's not like I'm asking for something so far outside the box that it needs to be called to question.

I know the Universe Galvatron mold is a flawed design as far as transforming the figure goes, but it looks fine in bot mode, IMO, and if you're going to just put him in your Classics shelf for display purposes, what's the harm? You're not obligated to transform him ever again if you don't want to. Some people seem to hate this mold like it ran over their dog.

In preparation for the actual galleries, showing up later this week, Seibertron.com is proud to present a couple of images from the Hasbro Asia Exclusives Autobot and Decepticon Specialist sets! Check out images below of close-up shots of the bios for Galvatron, Octane, Astrotrain, Hound, Ironhide and Mirage plus a combined shot showcasing the combined picture that the two boxes make, similar to the previous Seekers sets. Will you be reaching for these? Let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!

And really clever how the boxes fit in style. Can't wait for the galleries!

im going to say lazy coincidence. even though we found out hounds eyes were yellow in a uk comic...
